Only sharing this because it's that thing I helped design for Yamaha years ago (well, at least the hardware UI and layout) and couldn't discuss it before today:

It's a very different experience. Doesn't feel like you're holding technology. It's just a really well-crafted acoustic guitar with tricks up its sleeve that legitimately help when writing songs. The effects don't sound like effects because the body vibrations and sound hole generate everything acoustically; the reverb kinda makes you feel like you're in a bigger room.Always wanted to try one; this new version looks even more rad
The looper is way more fun than it has any right to be. And IIRC, it intelligently shifts loop start/stop points to land on the downbeat.
Ordering mine next week and plan on keeping it next to the living room couch; haven't owned an acoustic guitar in years because I knew this was coming.
Maybe for TAG4 C?Come on, @Digital Igloo. No Alexa?

Yamaha acoustics have always been nice pieces anyway. so the additions this has are incredible. Not over the moon about app reliance, but I don't see a way around it for something like this.

Oo and name it TAG.
“Hey TAG, turn on the plate reverb.”
“Sure thing, turning on plate reverb, I know tone.”

Wow. I need to try one of these somehow! My first good acoustic guitar was a Yamaha my dad inherited from a friend.

This looks similar to the Tonewood Amp in function but with a looper. I love the concept and love my Tonewood. The only drawback I see is you have to buy the guitar with it built in. The Tonewood Amp can be moved to many guitars only needing an additional X brace for each guitar. Tonewood Amps is releasing a new hardware version now with similar recharging ability and BT app for optional app or onboard control of effects. The TAG looks pretty cool, as long as the guitar is to your liking.

Truth. What's nice here is that at least you'll still have a stellar instrument, even after the app is gone. Whereas much as I love Variax, if its electronics died and it couldn't be fixed, I'd probably stick to my other guitars (unless I had a USA-made one).

Right?! And it was like 3 years ago. Got sick of bugging YCJ “Hey, so… When’s the new TransAcoustic launching?”
